Vogue US May 2010


...eat great food, hold hands with my man, hug my kids, read fabulous books, listen to the rain, light a candle and play classic board games as the sun sets, wake up to birdsong, take long walks, spend time with friends, find something fabulous at a vintage store (I dream about it when I sleep, for real!), walk slowly through museums, be madly in love (even after eight years!) and hopefully find that perfect job!

Happy Earth Day!

Just wanted to say Happy Earth Day! In a fashion way.

These photographs were part of "Garden of Delights" shot by Steven Meisel for Vogue US December 2006.

See details and all pictures here!

Take time this day and consider what you can do for the environment!

Remember Reduce, Reuse and Recycle! 

If you think this environment activist stuff sounds really unglamorous, read this feature about "Earth Mother" Gisele Bündchen from Vogue US April 2010.

Ps. THANKS for reading and commenting my blog! And THANKS for all the inspiration you give me in your blogs! I read and appreciate all comments, even though I sometimes answer and sometimes don't. I also always, sooner or later ;), check out your blogs, because I'm a curious person and I like to see who's behind the comment. If I really like you I will follow you!

Lady of the Manor

Oh, to have your own English estate to escape to once in a while. This is Gela Nash-Taylor's little "cottage". These pictures were published in American Vogue's September issue 2009. Nash-Taylor is a co-creative director and co-founder of Juicy Couture. I find so much inspiration in these pictures, even though it is very over the top. Or maybe that is why! And yes, the beautiful woman in the jacket and skirt is Yasmin Le Bon. For the story and all the pictures go to Vogue's homepage

Why, of course that is a REAL peacock in the tree! Don't you have one in your garden? ;)

More Alice in Wonderland!

If you want some more inspiration from Alice in Wonderland, check out these amazing Vogue photos from US Vogue december 2003. Shot by the marvelous Annie Leibovitz featuring Natalia Vodianova and also some of the biggest designers. Haven't you always wanted to see Marc Jacobs as the caterpillar or John Galliano as the Queen of Hearts?
